Find a way to meet the needs of your customers, in a way that benefits THEM
and you. If you can't produce a better value than someone else, find a way
to do so.
In the end, all the arguments about building value or revenue or whatever
are mostly trivial. If you don't have a reason to exist, and if you don't
have a plan to make money with reasonable assumptions, and the flexibility
to change with the times, you're as obsolete as the buggy whip.
I seriously doubt that anything besides the aquisition of a customer base
THAT WILL MAKE YOU PROFITABLE LONG TERM matters a whole lot. Of course,
the implications of that are technical competence, competitive products, and
pricing and cost structures that are sane and reasonable. I operate on the
assumption that my customer today will be my customer in 10 years and that
he expects as good of value from what I do in 10 years as what I deliver
now.

Subject: [WISPA] Industry failings
One the biggest factors holding our industry back is a lack of success
on the part of the big poster children. People look at the past failures
of WinStar and Teligent and wonder if new entrants can succeed. Many
investors are watching FiberTower and NextLink to see if these new
poster children can prove the business model.
